You can clearly see a color difference of the chronograph bridge with the rest of the movement. That movement was not born with that bridge and the dial is pure fantasy. In addition, the bridge in 99.9% of the cases is signed LeCoultre OR Jaeger. Not both.

Dear Zaf,
Thank you for your quick response. In any case I have already taken it into my local JLC dealer and they have send it off to Switzerland.
Once I get it back, I hope to send it back to the seller.

I look at this watch and just wish they have not messed with the name and parts. If the watch stand with out the fake name, i would be quite happy to keep it as I really like these old movements. However the truth and as a hobbiest, my watch value is in the time I invested into this hobby. Knowing the watch is a fake kind of make me think of all those hobbiest out there who have to wade through a mine field of fakes. Heads up towards the next watch.
